Culturally relevant schooling in Nunavut: Views of secondary school educators

The Nunavut Department of Education is committed to creating culturally relevant Nunavut secondary schools using, as a foundation, the principles of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (Inuit traditional knowledge and learning), bilingualism, and inclusive schooling. This paper focuses on the voices of Nunavut secondary school educators by building upon the results of the Sivuniksamut Ilinniarniq research project, which explored multiple graduation options for Nunavut youth and was conducted by the Nunavut Department of Education in 2004. Some of the data for this research project came from a survey of secondary school educators. The open-ended responses revealed three main themes: the role of Inuit language and culture in Nunavut education; an increased role for family and community; and concerns about student engagement. An overview of the initial survey results as well as further qualitative analysis and discussion of the three main themes is provided. For current educational planning, it is necessary to understand how the majority non-Inuit secondary school educators view the Nunavut school system and the possible assumptions embedded within these views.Le Département de l’éducation du Nunavut s’est engagé à créer des écoles secondaires culturellement adaptées au Nunavut en se basant sur les principes du Inuit Qaujimajituqangit (le savoir traditionnel et l’apprentissage inuit), le bilinguisme et l’enseignement inclusif. Cet article expose les opinions d’enseignants du secondaire du Nunavut, tout en se fondant sur les résultats de l’étude Sivuniksamut Ilinniarniq, menée par le Département de l’éducation du Nunavut en 2004, qui explorait les multiples options de cursus pour les jeunes du Nunavut. Certaines des données du projet de recherche Sivuniksamut Illiniarniq résultent d’une enquête menée auprès des enseignants du secondaire. Ce questionnaire d’enquête ouvert permit d’identifier trois thèmes principaux préoccupant les enseignants du secondaire: le rôle de la langue et de la culture inuit dans l’enseignement au Nunavut, l’accroissement du rôle de l’implication familiale et communautaire, ainsi que des préoccupations au sujet de l’engagement des étudiants. Cet article présente un survol des premiers résultats de l’enquête ainsi qu’une étude qualitative plus approfondie et un exposé des trois principaux thèmes. La manière dont les enseignants non-Inuit du secondaire envisagent le système scolaire du Nunavut et les possibles préjugés que recouvrent leurs conceptions représentent des informations non négligeables à considérer dans les processus de planification de l’enseignement en cours

Implementasi Counter Production Monitoring pada Mesin Tekstil berbasis Mikrokontroler

<h2>Abstrak</h2> <p><em>Sistem Counter Production Monitoring (CPM) diimplementasikan untuk menghitung secara otomotis kecepatan mesin, kecepatan produksi, dan jumlah produksi.Sistem ini digunakan pada mesin pemintal benang di industri tekstil untuk mengetahui efisiensi kerja mesin dan hasil produksi benang.Sistem terdiri dari perangkat keras dan lunak berbasis mikrokontroler dan personal komputer (PC) untuk mengukur putaran mesin guna menghitung ketiga besaran hasil produksi. Inductive proximity sensor dan encoder gear dipasang dengan jarak 1 mm pada shaft mesin yang berputar untuk mendeteksi jumlah putaran mesin berdasarkan jumlah pulsa yang dideteksi oleh sensor selama durasi tertentu. Mikrokontroller menghitung tiga besaran produksi dan menampilkan hasil pada display LCD melalui pengaturan 3 buah tombol serta mengirimkan ke PC melalui komunikasi serial untuk ditampilkan. Hasil pengujian selama 3 hari menunjukkan terjadi perbedaan antara sistem CPM dan perhitungan manual (Tachometer) yaitu antara 0.35-0.4 HANK.Perbedaan terjadi karena pada perhitungan manual, mesin diasumsikan selalu berjalan. Padahal pada kenyataannya terjadi proses dopping (penggantian cone benang). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa sistem CPM telah dapat digunakan untuk mengetahui efisiensi kerja mesin dan hasil produksi secara otomatis.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Kata kunci</em></strong><em>: counter production monitoring</em>, <em>encoder gear</em>, <em>Inductive Proximity Sensor</em>, <em>mikrokontroler, personal komputer.</em></p> <p> </p> <h2>Abstract</h2> <p><em>A Counter Production Monitoring (CPM) system was implemented to calculate automatically a machine speed, a production speed and a total production. This system was employed on a spinning machine in a textile industry to know machine efficiency and a number of thread productions. The system consists of some microcontroller-based hardware and software modules to detect machine rotation. Inductive proximity sensor and encoder gear were installed with a rotary machine shaft in 1 mm distance. A number of machine rotation was calculated from the number of pulses that detected by sensor for a certain time duration. Microcontroller calculated three production values and displayed on LCD by controlling three different push buttons. Subsequently, the data transferred to PC via serial communication to be displayed on PC. From three days testing, the system showed a different result of 0.35-0.4 HANK total production between CPM system and manual procedure using Tachometer. The different was due to the machine was assumed still working during dopping (change thread cone) process in the manual procedure. As a conclusion, CPM system can be used to know the machine efficiency and the number of thread production automatically.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: counter production monitoring, encoder gear, Inductive Proximity Sensor, microcontroller, personal computer.</em></p
